Deep Space Fleet

Even so, there are still many people who believe in the natural existence of silicon-based organisms, because human beings cannot be omniscient, and silicon-based life is so popular in various science fictions that people are eager to discover them.

Maybe on a certain planet, a so-called miracle was born?

Faced with this statement, some good people even wrote a long article to refute this point of view.

Including the poor connection ability of silicon, the silicon number of silane can only reach 8 and is unstable, and the composition of the material cannot be too complex; silane and its derivatives have poor thermal stability and are easy to condense, which is undoubtedly incompatible with the high temperature environment required by silicon-based life. is contradictory;

In addition, silicon-hydrogen bonds and silicon-silicon bonds are easily destroyed by various protic solvents, which means that common solvents such as water, ammonia, and even hydrogen fluoride cannot be used as carriers for silicon-based life, etc...

Shu Xiao said seriously: "Actually, I don't believe that there are natural silicon-based organisms. Even if there are, there is a high probability that they are artificial life. On the contrary, boron-based life with boron as the core is more likely! Hey, creating a life The difficulty is really comparable to the Creator, we are still far from this!"

The more humans know about the universe, the more they can rule out certain options.

Let’s not go into this speculation for the time being. All in all, people have great expectations for this planet to have complex life.

The vigorous and grand design is in progress, and it will soon reach its destination anyway, and resources will be replenished in a few years, and various high-performance materials will not be spent like money. There is a small centrifugal wheel inside Kunlun Mountain, which can rotate at high speed to simulate a high-gravity environment. Facts have proved that no matter how difficult it is, as long as massive resources are used to smash it, a breakthrough will easily occur.

When Zhang Yuan saw this list of materials needed, he was stunned. Looking at the menacing scientists in front of him, he couldn't help swallowing.

"You mean, the current budget is enough to build a Falcon-class destroyer?"

The scientist was not embarrassed. He was afraid that the world would not be in chaos and he opened his mouth loudly: "Your Excellency, the exploration in a high-gravity environment is an area that humans have never explored. So far, there are not many areas that humans have not explored." , the rest are big fish that no one can catch. This is a rare piece of small fish that can be eaten..."

"Anyway, everyone doesn't have any good research directions... Even if it's just a small fish, it's not bad."

Zhang Yuan nodded slightly. What people are currently better at is the industrial system in a low-gravity environment. Especially in heavy industry, low gravity is better than high gravity environment by many times.

"You mean not just making a few robots, but also a whole set of industrial systems operating in a high-gravity environment?"

"Yes, that's true... Although this system is theoretically impossible to match the low-gravity environment, maybe there will be some special inspiration? It is always good to develop more science."

Zhang Yuan sighed inwardly, the progress of scientific development is really too slow now, there is no significant progress in decades or a hundred years. So that scientists began to pick up those things that were discarded in the past and planned to start over. The whole process was actually very painful.

It sounds like looking for trouble, but just like the biochip technology that was abandoned at the beginning, if it is not practiced, who knows it will have such great potential?

There are many things that cannot be imagined by imagination alone, and the mysteries must be learned through practice. Maybe the breakthrough point of the entire civilization lies in these discarded things?

He nodded: "Well, I still support it for the time being... But this resolution still needs to be discussed by the Science Conference. It's just some resources anyway, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

The scientist breathed a sigh of relief, "We also applied for two interstellar ramjet engines to be installed on our scientific research spacecraft."

Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows, this guy has to make progress!

He was not angry, but just looked at the other party meaningfully. If he could give a qualified reason, it would not be impossible: "It is a military engine...the good product rate is very low, and only five or six of them are manufactured before a qualified one is produced. , these qualified products have to be used as military reserves.”

"It's like this... With the advancement of technology, the cost of ramjet engines will gradually decrease. Why not take this opportunity to test the performance of civilian spacecraft. On this planet, although ordinary nuclear fusion engines are enough Yes, but what about planets with higher gravity? Since the ramjet engine has to be installed in the transport aircraft sooner or later, sooner rather than later."

"Is that so...it sounds reasonable." Zhang Yuan frowned, thinking. This young scientist is really eloquent.

...

In this way, the three-year preparation time passed quickly, and the Kunlun Mountain fleet was gradually approaching its destination.

According to the consistent conservative policy, in order to strictly ensure the safety of the mothership, people will choose an outer planet, similar to Pluto in the solar system, as the landing point.

In this way, if there is a powerful civilization here, the entire fleet can communicate with it calmly, and if it is not good, it can leave directly without confrontation.

And generally speaking, a planet without an atmosphere is more suitable for mining minerals.

The observatory is always the busiest area. After the spacecraft has selected a landing location, the scientists are closely observing the specific movements of "Tep Star".

The first artificial detection satellite has also been launched ahead of schedule.

Yes, this super-Earth that may have life has been officially named-"Tep Star", instead of only having a code name as before.

There are three satellites around it, one of which has a mass of 88% of the moon and is about 360,000 kilometers away from Tep Star.

The other is smaller, with 7.5% the mass of the moon.

The last third one is a large meteorite with a diameter of 20 kilometers. It is not a real satellite. It revolves in a large outer circle. There should be no risk of collision for a while.

The mass of Tep is much larger than that of the earth, and it has many satellites, which is nothing. Like Jupiter and Saturn in the solar system, there are at least 70 or 80 satellites, and the small Mars also has two natural satellites. As long as the mass gap between these satellites and the surrounding planets is relatively large, the so-called "three-body movement" will not be formed.

After these days of observation, people have not observed traces of artificial satellites above the atmosphere of "Tep Star".

This news made all the scientists feel relieved, but at the same time feel a little regretful, and they can't tell what the psychology is.

"The absence of artificial satellites does not necessarily mean that there is no intelligent civilization, because the gravity and air pressure of this planet are too great, making it extremely difficult to launch satellites. Even we have to rely on interstellar ramjet technology to barely carry out spaceflight. activity."

"It's true... Our exploration satellite should be entering orbit soon!"

"Yes, first-hand information will be sent back soon!"

Everyone was extremely curious about the first data. Although it was already off-duty time, everyone was still waiting quietly in front of the big screen in the astronomical observation room.
